Mark 1:1-8
s5e2 Mark 1:1-8
Mark introduces us to John the Baptist and proclaims that Jesus is the Good News sent from God to the world!
SOMA
Scripture - Read and Re-read Mark 1:1-8 (read a section or 2 after this reading as well to understand context a little bit)
Observations/Questions - Here are some of our observations and questions we had concerning this text:
- Why the OT quote concerning John the Baptist?
- He states that the quote is from Isaiah but it is from 2 other OT passages too, why? Is there any significance?
- Why delve into John's clothing or eating habits? Significance? Why was John the Baptist this wilderness "wild man"?
- Why did John the Baptist baptize? What is the significance of baptism to the Jewish people at the time? What was the call to repentance about?
- What is the meaning of water baptism vs the baptism of the Holy Spirit as Mark commented concerning Jesus?
Meaning - major takeaways we have gained from this text (not exclusive - just our notes
- God's Son was prophesied
- People were ready for him, hungry for a messiah.
- Jesus is much more than a prophet - Ezekiel 36:25-27 - came to baptize with the Holy Spirit
- Jesus will change everything and does...we are all subject to this Kingdom whether we like it or not.
Application - what does this text mean FOR me not necessarily TO me
- What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus is a question we should always ask ourselves.
- Knowing that God planned Jesus to come rescue me and walk with me makes me want to walk closer to Jesus.
- What can we model about Jesus in this passage? Hard to answer for this passage due to its content of proclamation.
- How can we uplift Jesus? He is the Son of God, He is the Gospel! Praise God for our Salvation!
Group Questions:
- What statements does Mark make about Jesus in Mark 1:1-8?
- Explain why Jesus is "Good News" in your life personally.
- What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus?
- Why are you a disciple of Jesus?
